If you read a little more carefully, you'll see that those posts aren't talking about quite the same things. In fact, they're both correct; you can't copy an audio cd by dd'ing the whole disk, but you can do that for a data disk. For audio disks, you either need another program that understands audio cd format, or (with ATAPI cd drives only, I believe) you can use the acdt format, on a track-by-track basis.
